As a Florida Family Law Attorney in Hudson, Florida, I have seen the effects on families who are not receiving their court ordered child support. Florida Child Support Statutes state that both parents must be financially responsible for the support of their children. Establishing child support through a court order is the first step to getting child support. But sadly, many parents aren’t receiving that court ordered support. When this happens, there are legal remedies in place to ensure justice. Hiring a Pasco/Hernando County child support attorney can help you get the relief you need by filing a motion for enforcement and contempt against the “obligee.”

Title IV-D cases – If the custodial parent receives assistance from the Florida Department of Revenue, such as in paternity cases, for enforcement of support or locating the “obligor” who owes support.

Title IV-A cases – Title IV-A cases is when the “obligee” or the parent who is owed support receives public assistance benefits from the State of Florida. The State will attempt to collect support that is owed from the obligor.

Title IV-E cases – If you are a relative or the parent or a foster parent caring for a child or children, The Florida Department of Revenue enforces these child support orders against the parents on behalf of the caretakers.
